The garden always holds many surprises but this year is surpasses itself in fairy tale beauty. I feel like I have stepped into a dreamy, story book as flowers are blooming all over again and with a vigour and urgency of youthful intent, not a half-hearted end-of-season show. They are out to produce moor seeds, moor shoots, moor trailers and vines and are twisting the world into a picturesque jungle of colour.
Honeysuckle – old English name of Woodbine – pictured end of November
This variety is one of two very special types that I have in the garden supporting twin flowers. This is the more yellow variety with a deep woody perfume. The other one has red-veined leaves and pink dipped flowers with a sweet sensual perfume.

We have the same type of situation here. The garden is confused. Things die and then now they are trying a come back.Crazy Weather.
how wonderful. I'm afraid nothing is blooming around here. It's gotten very cold and winter is knocking at the door
Honeysuckle is one of my favorite scents of summer. The other is fresh cut grass.

I did not know that woodbine is honeysuckle
Yes, Woodbine is the traditional name of honeysuckle. It was called woodbine long before the use of the honeysuckle name was used.
Absolutely beautiful shots. Nice blog work. I came across your blog while “blog surfing” using the Next Blog button on the Nav Bar located at the top of my blogger.com site. I frequently just travel around looking for other blogs which exist on the Internet, and the various, creative ways in which people express themselves. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes for the New Year.
